how's it look from the gauge side? the bike looks great btw. I'm glad you kept the color. It really pops in the sun."like strawberry wine"

"Quick question....... Why don't you use the service stand to store the Rosa? The rear suspension will have less weight." That's probably a good idea. This stand came with the bike and I wanted to try it out. It's a little squirrely getting it to not slip on the swingarm while installing (whew!) but it sure goes up easy. Very little pressure. I won't use it again till (if)I can correct that. Meantime, I'll use the other one.

this method looks reasonable, quick, and maybe not costly.... speaking as a proud non-tech, of course.

me too, sans grumble....

all the California's fit don't they. always some on epay

Glad you're safe Hayo. Sorry for the bike failure. Welcome to the forum. Lots of pertinent info on here. Was the motor bell housing damaged?

Where might these be ordered Phil? Google is a bit skittish with that question.

That's a great deal on a great bike. I just found one a couple weeks ago (a lot closer) or I'd have been tempted (again) to look at yours. Good luck!

well done lads! and not a computer in sight

That's awesome. Lucky town

I was turned on to Seafoam a few years ago by a friend who is a life long mechanic. Granted, he's "old school" but he's talented, and a believer. Since we in the midwest have a "bike season", they tend to sit for a few months, unused and in fluctuating temps and humidity. He puts the stuff in first Spring gas for all motors that sit for the winter. I do as well. I also use it if I have an unusual poor running condition when I can't get an answer by doing the usual checks. I use it in all "new to me" gas tanks. I believe it does some fuel system cleaning. The guy in the video makes some good points, but his goofy jabber doesn't inspire confidence.

Gotta say, that bears a strong resemblance to the early Sport square headlight fairing. Stylized.

Ahh, a story of lust and true love! I'm with you on both fairings. The Magni looks great, but something about it doesn't quite go with the Sport's design - for me. The Stucci does the job well. That other one (?) (Scura) looks right on the sport as well. For half fairings, the Laverda fits the styling better imo.

good job stewgnu. .............. "fruity rort" indeed! Beautifully expressed.

Wouldn't that make "three?" I'm counting the one I'm "going" to need The Tenni is happy with her "fix" for now.

I want 2. One as a talisman, and one for an upcoming 'new addition.' And count me in for more if needed to get numbers up.

"sugru?" Sorry! Just my little joke, sugru is a mouldable, setting putty stuff. Thought it’d be amusing to imagine someone performing port-alteration-work with it. I was wrong. Apologies. Now I know what it is, it IS funny. I'm surprised I've never heard of it. Seems to be sold everywhere. Probably work for porting if it stayed in place.

Ha "Very aspirational" - no doubt Docc beat me to the red satin thing.... I still think we should get a photo!

I'll admit it. I have crossed the yellow on a right hander a couple of times. Thankfully with nothing coming at me. Still scary. The video reminds me again to remember, and follow my own rules. Right handers are easier for me for some reason, so I think my mistakes are from over confidence. I tell myself "sometimes when testing your limits, you'll find them".

Very interesting. Simple solutions for the non-racer, and some for the racer. Wouldn't changing the "O" port to a "D" port require a ramp of some sort, or is that ledge which creates the "tumble"?
